One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to
take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old
burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He
cried and cried, but I think deep down he thought it was a pretty good
joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was
getting pretty late. -- Jack Handey
